4.3.3.3 Alarm Handling
Auto Cancel This feature enables the ZoneVu system to handle alarms automatically.
1. A contact alarm occurs and activates user defined events. I.e. Cameras
are sent to Presets, switched to monitors and keyboards reported to.
2. When the contact alarm becomes inactive, the Auto Cancel Timer is
started.
3. When the Auto Cancel time is reached, any cameras which were event
driven will return to their positions or tours prior to the alarm occurring.
User control intervention after a camera has been event driven will override
the Auto Cancel facility.
Cancel Time Time between alarm de-activating and cameras returning to last position /
tour.
Report Monitor The monitor upon which all alarm reporting OSD text is written.
Queue Length Number of alarms allowed to be queued at any one time.
Queue Type Determines whether alarms progress to the top of the alarm queue based on
the order in which they occurred (CHRON) or their priority (PRIOR).

The SEQUENCING MENU allows the user to configure all monitor sequencing options.
A sequence is a defined list of cameras. Each camera is switched to the sequencing monitor in turn
followed by a dwell time before the next SALVO. The term SALVO indicates that all sequencing
monitors are updated simultaneously i.e. they each display the next camera in the sequence at the
same time.
To view the current settings for a sequence or pattern, enter the pattern number in the pattern field.
All other fields on the page (except for Dwell Time, which is a global setting) will then be updated with
the current operating values.
Editable Fields are:
Pattern [ ] Enter a pattern number between 1 and 8. Each pattern can hold up to 32
Cameras.
Position [ ] Indicates the current position in the current pattern which is to be edited.
Range 1-32.
Camera [ ] Allows the user to enter the camera to be sequenced in the pattern number
and position number indicated by the pattern and position fields.
Pattern Size [ ] Up to 32 positions can be programmed into any pattern. The pattern size
field sets the position after which the sequence restarts at position 1.
Dwell Time [ ] The global time between updating monitors and stepping to the next pattern
position. Range 1 to 99 seconds.
